This week in Phonics we will be learning about words with long vowels in them (such as ‘a’ in acorn, ’e’ in emu, ‘i’ in lion, ‘o’ in hotel and ‘u’ in unicorn). We will also be learning to read the words ‘who’ and ‘why’ and to spell the words ‘want’ and ‘their’.

In English, we will be continuing to learn about writing instructions. This week we will be writing instructions for making a fruit salad.

In Maths, we will be learning about 3D shapes. This week we will be recognising and naming shapes and sorting them into groups.

In RE, the class will be discussing our key question of the term (Why does Christmas matter to Christians?) and reflecting on what we have learnt this term.

In our Computing and Art lessons, we will be using coloured dots to create a sunflower picture in the style of Georges Seurat and talking about whether we prefer painting with poster paints or creating digital art using a computer.

This week Willow Class will have PE on Thursday morning.

We will be rehearsing for the KS1 Nativity play on Monday morning and will perform it to the whole school on Monday afternoon. We are looking forward to performing our Nativity play for our families on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th December at 2:15pm in the School Hall.
